ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06008106
What this study is testing
What is tunlametinib?
tunlametinib is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for melanoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a multicenter, two-arm, open-label, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tunlametinib capsule in comparison with the combination chemotherapy of investigator's choice in advanced melanoma patients with NRAS mutation who have received immunotherapy before. Subjects were stratified according to the baseline lactate dehydrogenase level and chemotherapy.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
